Basking in the daylight
Run far away from here
The sun will shine again
Keep it in your back pocket
Fireworks and fireflies
Ice cream on the playground
Sprinklers spraying water
Childhood laughter in the air

06-29-18 Battle For Our Soul
Your heart is full of hate
But there is love in my heart
You can try to tear us apart
But our love is too strong
You try to spread darkness
But our lights shine so bright
You confuse kindness with weakness
But our strength will rise to defeat you
But there is love in my heart
You can try to tear us apart
But our love is too strong
You try to spread darkness
But our lights shine so bright
You confuse kindness with weakness
But our strength will rise to defeat you

06-28-18 Revisionist History
Going back in time
To change mistakes we made
To right the wrongs against us
While setting into motion
A million alternate realities
Now that the years have passed
And many scenarios have played out
It's plain to see the writing on the wall
Civilization shall fall no matter what
And now we can never go home again
To change mistakes we made
To right the wrongs against us
While setting into motion
A million alternate realities
Now that the years have passed
And many scenarios have played out
It's plain to see the writing on the wall
Civilization shall fall no matter what
And now we can never go home again

06-27-18 Loneliness Lost In Nothingness
Joyful radiance weeps
for the weekend crew
keeping people cool
joining forces violently
Part of the silent majority
walking away from civility
losing ground in the election
when freedom is still frozen

06-26-18 Fight Against Fear
Fear does not exist
It is something inside us
We can choose
To give fear power
Or we can choose
To stand up against fear
And that is when
Our true strength will emerge
It is something inside us
We can choose
To give fear power
Or we can choose
To stand up against fear
And that is when
Our true strength will emerge

06-25-18 Waking Light
Wake up listening
To the songbirds
Singing sweetly
In dawn's light
Laying in bed
Staying in bed
Half awake
Barely dreaming
To the songbirds
Singing sweetly
In dawn's light
Laying in bed
Staying in bed
Half awake
Barely dreaming

06-24-18 Abstract Summer Birds
Liquid sand castle smiles
Return of the century revenge
Club time ties tried to tee off
Silence suddenly run for cover
Forever wishing for perfection
Quiet quick drying cement cell block
Summer birds singing science inside
Absurd thoughts transform into words
Confirmed questions for cool kids
Flying away into the setting sun
Return of the century revenge
Club time ties tried to tee off
Silence suddenly run for cover
Forever wishing for perfection
Quiet quick drying cement cell block
Summer birds singing science inside
Absurd thoughts transform into words
Confirmed questions for cool kids
Flying away into the setting sun

06-23-18 People In Your Neighborhood
Look all around
And what do you see
Many faces
That look like you and me
There's a mailman over there
And a construction worker
There is a politician
There is a prostitute
If you look over there
You'll see a time traveler
He's looking at his watch
To see what time it is
Those people on the corner
Are extraterrestrial shape shifters
And they've been here all along
Without you ever noticing
That guy sitting on the steps
Is an ancient vampire zombie
Who is over a thousand years old
And he wants to drink your blood
Robots and androids alive and well
There characteristics are hard to tell
Look all around and what do you see
Many faces that look like you and me
And what do you see
Many faces
That look like you and me
There's a mailman over there
And a construction worker
There is a politician
There is a prostitute

06-22-18 Space Babies
Swirling winds of daydreams
Believing in the best of times
Sideways winding down canyons
Colorful crayons spilled outside
Chalk marks on the blackboard
New exciting horizons in horror
Floating out into the atmosphere
Frosted crystal cream ice machine
Magic laser beams streaming images
Far beyond the knowledge of humanity
Spreading good ideas like wildfires
Across the planet from our birthplace

06-21-18 Great Again
Words burning holes in us
Trading insults for intimacy
Going to war in public places
Peacekeepers on the front lines
To see your friends and family
Fighting each other over politics
Has a damaging effect on your heart
And it causes a deep hurtful pain
Like a hurricane of anger
Shift your trajectory towards peace
Spread positivity with good energy
Shine your light and feel great again

06-19-18 Seduction In The Garden
Driving up through the tunnel
Darkness out into the light
On a secret mission tonight
To find the magic energy source
Evil summer wisdom wishlist
Witchcraft in it's highest form
Demons watching from shadows
There's a price to pay for power

Under your inner skin
Bugs are crawling everywhere
Creeping up into your brains
Poison running in your veins
Demons swimming in your blood
With an angel trapped inside your heart

06-17-18 Coney Island Memories
Barefoot on the boardwalk
In the shadow of the Cyclone
Stuffing our faces with hot dogs
Boys Of Summer playing on the radio
Crowds of people fill the streets
Before the afternoon rains came down
Running along the sweet sandy beaches
I'll never swim in those waters again

06-16-18 Lunchtime In Madison Square Park
Sunny day everywhere
Cool breezes fill the air
Sweet jazz music sounds
Kids on the playground
Lovers strolling casually
Under ancient giant trees
With a shady spot to relax
On the green green grass
Cool breezes fill the air
Sweet jazz music sounds
Kids on the playground
Lovers strolling casually
Under ancient giant trees
With a shady spot to relax

Flipping through old pictures
Smiles and laughs from yesterday
Reflections of beautiful days together
True stories flash before our eyes
Watching you grow up
Your innocent smiles shine
That sweet little baby face
Forever in our family photos

06-14-18 Crimson Sunburn
Seeking shelter in the shade
From fire red rays of sunshine
Burning our skin from the sky
Hot summer radiation waves
Cinnamon sunset simmering
Fade away into evening breezes
People stumble in a hazy daze
Everybody got cooked today

Fade away into evening breezes
People stumble in a hazy daze

06-13-18 Ripped Out Of A Notebook
Creepers down in the basement
Background noise in your smile
Soulful sounds should stay sweet
Shake hands with people you meet
There doesn't have to be a message
Behind your secret philosophy writings
With an open mind you can read it all
Then write your thoughts down on purpose

Voices from the past
Calling out from afar
So you won't forget
What they sound like
Singing in unique tones
Sounds refresh echoes
Triggering instant memories
To bring us back home
Calling out from afar

06-11-18 Rattlesnake Charms
The secrets of sadness
Silent wars within walls
Thinking too much again
Reading between the lines
Lost language of yesterday
Cool kids skating in the park
Sunset beaches take a beating
Freedom outside the prisons
Family feelings hurt at dinner
Steel cage match on Saturday
Treasure buried underground
Precious beauty in your heart
Silent wars within walls
Thinking too much again
Reading between the lines
Lost language of yesterday
Cool kids skating in the park
Sunset beaches take a beating
Freedom outside the prisons
Family feelings hurt at dinner
Steel cage match on Saturday
Treasure buried underground
Precious beauty in your heart

Daylight so dim
You can barely see
Patterns on the wall
Until shadows grow
To swallow us whole
In complete darkness

On a mystical battlefield
Fighting the ultimate battle

Darkness dissolves light
Shadows fade into sunshine
On the streets or inside your heart
The war rages on forevermore

06-03-18 Not Simply Existing
Taking up space on the street
Another mouth to feed again
Breathing valuable fresh air
Drinking up all the clean water
Taking it all without giving back
Say something from your heart
Enjoying the good life on Earth
Live to tell the tale another day
Creating your own masterpiece
Leave your mark before you go
Another mouth to feed again
Breathing valuable fresh air
Drinking up all the clean water
Taking it all without giving back
Say something from your heart
Enjoying the good life on Earth
Live to tell the tale another day
Creating your own masterpiece
Leave your mark before you go

06-02-18 Bee Stings
The sting was not sweet
But the honey was honest
And it's tough to feel good
When you do the wrong thing
The most important decisions
Are often the most difficult ones
The hardest steps to take forward
Will move you in the right direction
But the honey was honest
And it's tough to feel good
When you do the wrong thing
The most important decisions
Are often the most difficult ones
The hardest steps to take forward
Will move you in the right direction

Forgotten flowers
On the road to ruin
Growing golden older
And colder in color
Stop to smile
Appreciate this beauty
Walking down the road
Growing old and golden
On the road to ruin
Growing golden older
And colder in color
Stop to smile
Appreciate this beauty
Walking down the road
Growing old and golden
